Title: State Theater Revisited
Post by: Towntalk on January 25, 2011, 01:03:37 PM
Someone once asked if the State Theater was built on the site of the Orpheum Theater and at the time I really couldn't give them an answer although I had a picture postcard that did have the Orpheum sign, but the view wasn't good enough to be sure.

Recently I revisited the question and found the answer along with some other interesting related articles, and hope you'll enjoy the trip down memory lane.
